[james f]

looks wrong

[Gismo]

Not sure what peoples expectations of a traveller should look like :p but, given the current body style and replacing the rear with the relevant box type shape it looks exactly as it can only look 8):)
Looks fine to me, but, i won't be buying one anyway ;)

[The Dogfather]

Looks like a MINI estate should, not that different from the show model. A different colour and some chromework it'll look fine

[Scottie]

yuck

Will defo be one that you have to wait and see in the flesh.

[illegalhunter]

Well the A2 should be getting on a bit by the time this comes out, so it'll be time to change it. So it come down to a countryman or an Audi A1. At the moment I'd have to say A1 is way out ahead as far as the looks are concerned.

yes the Audi 1 is indeed a fine looking car but with Audi and VW you can have a good few faults on them and if you think Mini dealers are awful in the service department well Audi/VW are 10x worse.

Sorry Fiona - got to disagree with you there. My VW dealer (Western VW at Fort Kinnaird, Edinburgh) were excellent. Very professional, upfront with pricing, provided courtesy cars etc. So no complaints from me.

Kenl I understnad what your saying but that was a Golf nothing wrong with a Golf I hear you cry and your right:D

but give them a Touareg with millions of electric gizmo's 2 ECU's blah balh blah and all VW's dealer is lost or put it a other way VW dealers are great fixing Polo's and that's about it..

Audi dealers well they all have a crap reputation starting the minute you walk in the showroom doors.

[The Dogfather]

Fi, have you ever owned an Audi?

I have 2, the garages are excellent, far better than John Clarks in Aberdeen.

My first A2 had a blocked injector which detonated taking half top half of the engine with it, the car went into Aberdeen Audi on the Sunday and was back with us Monday night. They delivered a hire car to our house on a Sunday night and paid for the fuel.

A bulb blew on the latest A2 a couple of weeks back, we couldnt get to the dealers to get it fixed and I was travelling back to Aberdeen that night. We rang the breakdown people to ask how to change the bulb as its a dealer fit part. They sent out a technician to our house to fix it for us. No charge either.......

Can't see BMW doing that after my experience with JCs.

Audi has the best customer care I've experienced by far.

VB you ask if I have ever owned a Audi:eek::eek::eek: what do you think;) of course I have :p

I have owned 2.

[KenL]

Vidal - I really like the A2, a real classy wee car. Pity they have stopped making them.

[Big Gordy]

I'm probably getting an 2003 A4 1.9 TDi Sport in March:D.............if the price is right:I :p:D:approve:

[The Dogfather]

Should have guessed SC, it might have been easier to ask if there's a car you haven't owned? :p

So what did you have then?

The A2 is a great car, the TDI is a bit noisey but it'll return 60+ mpg easy. Mine is the 90bhp model, it's not slow though (0-60 in 11 secs)

[The Dogfather]

Actually, I should say Jackie's. I've got it most of the time as I'm traveling from Durham to Aberdeen twice a week for work. Hopefully that won't continue for long and I can get my Brabus back.
